World Cup 2026 Preview

Christian Pulisic carries the weight of American soccer expectations as the USA prepare to co-host the 2026 World Cup. Captain America, as he is affectionately known, has been the face of US Soccer since his teenage years and enters the tournament at 27, at the peak of his career. After revitalizing his club form at AC Milan following a difficult spell at Chelsea, Pulisic arrives in top condition and confidence. His direct running, clinical finishing, and ability to produce moments of magic make him the most dangerous player in the American squad. The 2022 World Cup saw him score the winner against Iran before injury cut his tournament short. Now, on home soil, Pulisic has the chance to lead the USMNT to their best-ever World Cup performance and inspire a new generation of American soccer fans.
